Please note: We rarely have puppies readily available, simply because they are offered to our screened waiting list first. On the rare occasion that we do have a puppy readily available, it will be listed on our 'Current Litters' page - see index to the left.

We strive to uphold high principals of breeding as summarised below in the extract from the ANKC website, take every step to ensure that show, breeding or pet families receive quality, true to type, healthy puppies from us and that we act as responsible and trustworthy breeders.

RESPONSIBLE BREEDING

(extract from ANKC Policies)

The Australian National Kennel Council and its Member Bodies believe that breeding programs should only be undertaken responsibly and for the purpose of improving the breed. Due consideration must be given to recognised hereditary problems in any breeding program. Any resulting surplus stock should be placed only in homes where the owners are committed to responsible dog ownership.

We are opposed to the production of dogs by those people who breed without regard for the quality of the animals that they produce and without accepting responsibility for placing the dogs only in homes where the owners understand, and are prepared to undertake a commitment to, responsible ownership.

Our puppies are properly wormed and cared for, well handled, receive loads of socialisation, are thoroughly vet checked, Health Certified, innoculated, microchipped and registered with Dogs Queensland (ANKC). A puppy pack ensures you have all the information you need for a new puppy including the puppy's full history, pedigree, parentage and comfort toy and rug, plus samples of puppy's diet.

Our guarantees are in the form of highly principled breeding programmes and in behaving responsibly with clients following the receipt of their new puppy. We encourage clients to keep in touch after the sale to be able to monitor the puppy's progress and see how they mature, and also encourage clients to return to us should they experience any problems relating to our breeding programme.

We aim to breed healthy, quality puppies that are suitable for showing or breeding as well as puppies for 'pet only' or agility or obedience. We have taken care to choose breeding stock with good healthy backgrounds and strong, complimentary lines.

We are careful to ensure that the puppy chosen is suited to the new owners' situation and encourage new owners to visit our puppies while they mature sufficiently to relocate to new homes. This lessens the stress of the puppy when relocated as they are more familiar with their new owners and are predominantly dealing with new surroundings.

We are situated on forty acres atop of a mountain 15 minutes north of Gympie, Queensland and our dogs are kept and raised in beautiful rural surroundings, with million dollar views. Whether they appreciate the views is questionable, but they certainly enjoy the fresh air and grass to romp on.

We encourage prospective new families to visit whenever they can and welcome a pre-inspection (by appointment only, and following the receipt of a completed inquiry form) of our dogs and surroundings prior to choosing a puppy.

We keep our new owners uptodate on puppies via email on at least a weekly basis and welcome updates from new puppy owners as often as possible.

Please feel free to browse all of the information in this section of our site. It is designed to be informative as well as indicate the quality of the puppies we have bred or have available.

We are often asked why there are price differences in available puppies. Simply put, and not quite so blandly as Robbie's 'you get what you pay for' response - in order to ensure that we have true to type, healthy and well adjusted puppies, over the years, we have spent oodles of time, effort and money choosing and buying our breeding girls and boys. At the same time of course, we are seeking to show these dogs prior to breeding them, so we look for the best, and we pay for the best.

Secondly, low prices could indicate several things which you need to be careful of. It could mean that the dogs and therefore the puppies are not registered, which means they are bred outside the standards, rules and regulations of the Canine Controls who, by the way, have instigated these standards and controls for the sake of the puppies and the families who buy them. It could mean that breeding programmes don't necessarily include a responsible attitude towards the health, type or personality of dogs used for breeding, whether because of naivity or simply not caring - again this is to be watched for. There are responsible breeder and there are less responsible breeders .

To ensure that you don't fall into any situations that you may later regret, it is best to deal with responsible registered breeders who take care and pride in what they're doing and who are able to allow you to meet and view their dogs, have them in suitable care and conditions, and also who is open and honest with the answers to your questions, and are able to at least let you see pedigrees and pictures of puppy parents, and better still, let you interact with the parents so you can have an idea of how the puppy might mature both in stature and personality.

No matter where you purchase your puppy - ensure you have taken great care to ensure that your puppy has every chance of a long, happy, healthy life with you.

I'm often asked how long the waiting list is. The waiting list is as long as the responses to a litter birth broadcast. Sounds odd, I know, but people put their names onto waiting lists and will keep looking, often snatch a puppy up purely because it's available and forget to tell the breeders with whom they've placed their names. So, it's as long as those who advise us a week prior to the due date of a litter that they are still waiting on a puppy. Everyone gets equal chance of a puppy as it's those that respond and pay a deposit that secure a puppy. I do have to add though that our puppies are usually sold with a day or so after a litter birth broadcast, so if it's getting close and you're getting nervous/excited, feel free to get an update from us.

Please Note: We have not and will not knowingly sell a puppy to any unregistered breeder, or any registered breeder who is breeding unregistered or cross bred puppies.

Unfortunately, we are not responsible for the naivity or lack of scruples of others and have subsequently taken all steps to ensure that our pet puppies are desexed, and our main registration dogs are utilised correctly to improve the breed.

Please feel free to check with us regarding any pedigree including our prefix, whether bred by us or not.
